A young boy who taught us all about what it means to be courageous and to get the most out of every day has passed away. 14-year old Dade Cannon finally lost his long battle with cancer with his family by his side Friday.
Dade was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2009 at the age of 5. Over the last 8 years he relapsed 3 times and failed treatment 6 times. He was eventually selected for a clinical trial called CAR T-CELL but in the end the treatment was not successful.
Everyone, especially all of us at Eagle Radio, will miss Dade’s positive outlook on life.
He will be in our hearts when we present the “Kans for Kids Fighting Cancer Radiothon” this Spring.
Below is Dade’s obituary.
